In an unexpected and controversial moment that has since gone viral, World Championship of Legends (WCL) owner Harshit Tomar left presenter Karishma Kotak stunned during the post-final presentation ceremony, when he publicly declared,
“I am going to propose to you.”
The statement came out of nowhere as the two stood on the broadcast stage following the conclusion of the WCL 2025 final. Caught off-guard, Karishma, a seasoned presenter and former model, appeared visibly surprised, managing to maintain her composure amid the awkward moment.
Moment Goes Viral, Sparks Mixed Reactions Online
The clip from the live broadcast was quickly clipped and shared across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, racking up millions of views within hours. While some viewers responded with amusement, many criticized the remark as inappropriate and unprofessional, especially given the formal nature of the post-match ceremony.
“This wasn’t the time or the place,” wrote one X user.
“Karishma handled that with grace, but this wasn’t cool,” another commented.

About Harshit Tomar and the WCL
Harshit Tomar, an entrepreneur and rapper-turned-cricket promoter, is the face behind the WCL — a tournament that features retired international stars competing in T20 format matches. The league has enjoyed high viewership thanks to the nostalgia factor and participation of cricket legends from India, Pakistan, England, and other nations.
While Tomar has been known for his flamboyant personality, his recent remark has raised eyebrows even among WCL supporters.
Debate on Professionalism in Sports Broadcasting
The moment has reignited discussions about boundaries and conduct in professional sports broadcasting, especially when live television is involved. Experts have pointed out that even humorous or light-hearted remarks should be context-sensitive, particularly when they involve women on professional assignments.
Cricket boards and broadcasters have increasingly placed importance on ensuring safe and respectful environments for presenters, commentators, and journalists.
Final Word: Viral, But Problematic
While the clip may have generated attention for the WCL, many viewers believe the incident overshadowed the sporting achievement of the final match and put an unwanted spotlight on a professional presenter.
Unless addressed publicly, the moment may continue to circulate as a viral footnote in the league’s otherwise successful 2025 campaign.
